I prefer the look of Spinners Ian, so if Lionel's 2 eared Spinner tool makes life a lot easier, then why not ?


Ah, form over function then Craig! innocent Actually my comment was tongue-in-cheek really. I agree, the two eared spinners do look nice and I did consider them myself once. Judging by the number of second-hand sets of hexagon nuts I've seen at autojumbles (often packaged nicely in a two-eared spinner box) it is a popular swap. I've grown to love my hexagons though!

I've made contact with Lionel and he is to make me a tool once I've given him the precise dimensions of the wheel nuts. As HJF says, apparently there is a lot of inconsistency.
